BHP Billiton Mitsubishi Alliance

BHP Billiton Mitsubishi Alliance (BMA), which is a 50-50 joint venture between BHP Billiton and Mitsubishi Corp. of Japan, accounts for more than one-quarter of Australia's annual coal exports.

Coal mines and projects
BMA owned and operated mines are:
 * the Gregory Crinum mine;
 * the Peak Downs mine;
 * the Saraji mine;
 * the Norwich Park mine;
 * the Blackwater mine; and
 * the Goonyella Riverside mine.

BMA also manages two coal mines -- the South Walker Creek mine and the Poitrel mine -- for BHP Mitsui Coal.

In September 2008 BMA bought 100% of the Saraji East project from New Hope Corporation. The project is an undeveloped metallurgical coal project located near Dysart in the Bowen Basin in Queensland.
